Filed Under EN
Six people have been killed and several others injured after a car spun out of control during the Coruna Rally in Galicia, Spain.
The driver lost control and skidded off the track killing four women, one of whom was pregnant, and two men.
About a dozen people were hurt.
Local media reported that the driver and co-driver were unharmed.
“One of the drivers took the track at a much higher speed than he should have and he veered off a curve, slamming into around 20 people,” a Civil Guard spokesman said.
Television footage showed the car careering off a woodland track and into a crowd of onlookers in a cloud of dust.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who is from Galicia in the northwest, said on his Twitter feed: “The Coruna Rally is in mourning.
“My deepest condolences to the bereaved and wishes for a complete recovery of those injured.”
